I still have all the stuff so I am restarting it. My 10yr old- will be 11 when we start, will be doing Bigger again but with exte...

Thank you ladies so much for the encouraging words! Lynn~This is our first deployment. Dh was active duty Army when we married and 1.5yrs after we were married (Ranger and 82nd). Now it is Army National Guard. It has been a whirlwind. Thank you for the encouraging words and ideas to get through the ...

Hi everyone! I am back...as much as I can be! :-) Our 4th daughter is now 6mths old and my husband was just deployed at the end of March. He is in Mississippi right now and we are going to Gulfport to visit him for his 4 day pass before he goes to Afghanistan. Here is what I am not sure what to do: ...

Birth story and pics are on my blog. Things are going well and the girls are really enjoying their new sister.

Thanks! I haven't delivered all at home, just #3 and prayfully this one. I have a wonderful, Christian midwife that we are thankful to have. Does anyone do the Outdoor Hour on the Handbook of Nature Study blog?

I am not sure if any of you were wondering where I was or not. ;-) I am about 28 days from my due date. Everything is going great and the baby is moving A LOT. We are only on unit 8 and we started in June! lol We have taken 2, 2wk breaks since we started. I guess it comes with the territory of being...

I am due in about 7-8wks...give or take. I am planning to take about 2wks off and ease back into it. Right now, things are going pretty well. My children's ages are almost 8, 5.5 and 3...then there will be the newborn. I think it will fit very well with a newborn in the house. I won't have to hunt a...

This is the first time I have responded to the olive/betty thread.

It is http://shop.knowledgeadventure.com/Depa...

Welcome! We are using Little Hearts and Bigger. We started a little over 2 wks ago and we LOVE IT! I am also expecting and due at the end of September, so that is why we are starting early as well. One other good thing about HOD is that my husband LOVES IT! He loves that I am not stressed, that the ...

We are on our 2nd week of Bigger and Little Hearts. We need to get as much in before Sept and after the baby is born. I have no idea when it would get started back after the birth of our new little one.

I am from around Aiken! But we live about 3hrs from there now. We are in NE GA about 1hr from SC state line. We miss SC so much. Hubby is from Chesterfield (never knew that town existed until we met! lol)

Gina,

I also left you a comment! She looks so adorable and happy!

Thank you! We did have fun and can't wait for more! The baskets are used as one for each of us. I have a bin, 7 yr old has a bin, 5 yr old has a bin and even 2 yr old has a bin. :-) They are used to keep all the materials we are using this week, from math to science per child. Everything else that w...

Ok, I am not sure how many of you are still doing school but we are. We need to get as much in as we can before the baby is born in Sept.
